This week, NETexponent co-founder, Chris Kramer, put the ceremonial scissors to the red ribbon stretched across the sliding glass doorway of our new break room.  The scissors, surprisingly neither large nor gold, snipped the ribbon to successfully signify the conclusion of the week-long construction in the office and the official opening of the first NETexponent break room.

Now the area surrounding the refrigerators, water cooler, and coffee machine is enclosed with sky blue walls and smooth sliding glass doors.  Upon entering the break room, you can find two shiny white tables partnered with eight contemporary, Swedish-engineering inspired (IKEA) chairs.  To complete the new space, we will be installing a full-sized fridge in the near future.

Of course, this event was heralded with an invitation sent out to each member of the team, wrought with reference to KitKat’s early 1990′s “Give me a break!” campaign.  Following this theme, the team found a dish (just beyond the red ribbon) overflowing with KitKat candy bars.  Within an hour of Chris’ ceremonial ribbon cutting, the new space was bustling with conversation and proved an exceptional investment to the environment of NETexponent.

Showing her support and approval of the new room, Valerie Russo, NETexponent’s Online Advertising Coordinator remarked, “I think the new space will help us all relax better while eating lunch and make us more productive when we’re at our desks.”  Undoubtedly, the whole team is excited about the utility of having a break room available where they can unwind and relax during lunch or at the end of the day.  The open space is also great for brainstorming!
